Hinckley Bus

[Tony]

Ex Midland Solo 2560 has been repainted into what is believed to be the Hinckley Bus livery: www.facebook.com/LeicestershireTransportUpdates/photos/492185690914015/

Repainted in Hinckley Bus livery? That is just Midland livery with Hinckley Bus fleetnames, patched up from this awful state it was in in March

Above the window line hasn't been touched, hence the non-matching colours on the fleetname

Just been on Uk Buses fleet list website I noticed they done a mistake 2562 was highlighted in Red as withdrawn but I seen 2562 today on X55 route to Leicester from Hinckley at 12.07pm

The only thing I can think of is that when that list was produced it was probably down as withdrawn from Wednesfield and not yet at Hinckley hence why they have it as withdrawn.

This looks like a refocus of the whole company on the Nuneaton - Hinckley - Earl Shilton corridor to support the half-hourly Arriva 158.  I'm not surprised, now that Stagecoach 10 and 48 provide 5 buses per hour on this section of route.

This will be one to watch - there will now be 11 direct(ish) buses per hour between Nuneaton and Hinckley, which is probably more than can be sustained in the long term.

X55 Leicester X44 Rugby 58 Market Haraborough & 2 Burbage be every 2 hours

3 6 & 8 be every hour

1 & 7 be every 30 Mins

2 3 replace 82 & 5
1 replace 81
6 replace 75 86
7 replace 71 76
8 replace 58A
58 replace 58B

The X44 will still be roughly every hour between Leicester & Lutterworth with only a handful of buses going to Rugby as the rest will continue as an 8 to Hinckley.

From what I've been hearing the changes to the X55 aren't liked by the villagers along the route who rely on the service.

warwickshire.gov suggests that the 1 and 7 are half hourly between them.
